With two games to go, the Sharks hold a one-point lead for the top spot in the Western Conference. If the Stars get in, it will be as the second wild card, which means they would face the top seed of the conference in the first round.
On March 28, St. Louis led the Central by eight points over the Chicago Blackhawks and nine over Colorado. The Blues held a one-point lead for the Presidents' Trophy over the Boston Bruins, who now lead them by four, according to NHL.com.
"It's not fun losing," forward Jaden Schwartz told the Blues website Thursday. "These are big, important games for us, and it's a big time of the year. We're confident in here that we can turn this around, and we have two more games to do that."
T.J. Oshie was injured in the second period and did not return to the game, and forward David Backes (foot) might not play again in the regular season.
"[Oshie is] such an important player to our team," Schwartz said. "At this time of the year, you don't want to see injuries like that. You just hope that he's ready to go soon and he's feeling better."
Twelve Dallas players have never participated in the NHL postseason, and four others haven't in at least five years.
"A lot of players like myself, first time in key games like this, there are learning points and learning curves to everything, and I think it's just how you come back and how you play the next game," defenseman Brenden Dillon told the Dallas Morning News after a 3-1 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Wednesday.
